hey Spanish? You didnt get wiped out did you?

that is abn amro. The arrows represent buys and sells. The green dots are take profits and the red stop losses. Nice trading candles.

nice one. Stayed out today, too busy to pay my full attention.

That's why it may be better to have a look at another sb firm due to tradindex's unusable charts. With regards to locking in profit, do you just cash in or set a stop and see how it goes?

you could look at anoher commod/instrument?

you need to be more disciplined if this is your 'career'. Doesnt seem like you take it very seriously considering you need to make money to survive? :confused: Its not hard to set an alarm for 7am.

Been very on/off and not only that but when in, its been slow. Crazy day today. I'm down over a grand but that's alright, got to be expected at times the way im trading :D Was nearly 3 grand down at one point! Balance is 9400 or so.

Spanish? Did the black swan get him?

did u get back in on the shorting? :eek: absolutely terrible. I can see things getting a lot worse, pensions etc etc

nice one. Very risky in my opinion holding over the weekend considering the potential for movement either way, glad it paid off for you! You can take the day off now :cool:

I would but I don't really have a strategy that I stick to. I've always found that I do better without strict rules. The other thing being that I work a full time job, I am studying (CIMA strategic argh...) etc etc. If my lucky streak continues then I may well start a journal, I'm sure a...

nice. I seem to recall that you also use ABN Amro? I've only recently started using them for my 'real' money account. Have you had any problems with them?

well done mate, I think you have better reasons behind your trading than I do. I trade purely on price action and instinct. Yesterday I was going to make a point about having an alarm clock and making sure you are alert by the open. I really don't have all that much money but I work as a...

Alright guys, decent day again today and could have been a lot better if I wasn't so busy at work. Profit of just over £1000 for the day bringing my balance to £10,555. Took 87 pips on EUR/USD at £5/pip and the rest was made on ftse 100. Made a few mistakes today but still pleased...

I've always struggled previously once I double my account. I'm contemplating taking 5k out and starting over. I wouldnt normally risk over 2-3% max on a trade but I thought I would try something different.

hi spanish, I actually started posting my reply before i saw yours. To answer your question, yes big risk. I was actually trading solely ftse 100 CFDs (through abn amro). Allows for some severe leverage (50x). At times my position was around £30-35 per point. I didnt actually place any...

IIRC it was around 70 or so - avg around £25 per pt. Far too much leverage really but then I'm trying to go all out..

Another excellent day today. (Spanish, I hope you dont mind me posting in here?) Made a profit of £1709 on mi ftse 100. Entered very poorly and saw it move against me but I was confident of catching the overall move.. Account up to £9518.03. Taking massive risks compared to what I...

It wasnt huge, £5641 at the start of the day. Excellent day though, perfectly timed to pay car insurance (group 20 car:( )

Great movement on the ftse today. Made 50% of my account today... I have been looking at oil recently and I cannot fathom it really so Ive stayed away. Spanish, do you not think of perhaps looking at something else to trade that behaves slightly more logically? Glad you recovered some...
